### 1.2 Relationships to Other Standards

There are several reference documents of interest in checking the status of protocol specifications and standardization:

INTERNET OFFICIAL PROTOCOL STANDARDS
  This document describes the Internet standards process and lists the standards status of the protocols. As of this writing, the current version of this document is STD 1, RFC 1780, [ARCH:7]. This document is periodically re-issued. You should always consult an RFC repository and use the latest version of this document.

Assigned Numbers
  This document lists the assigned values of the parameters used in the various protocols. For example, it lists IP protocol codes, TCP port numbers, Telnet Option Codes, ARP hardware types, and Terminal Type names. As of this writing, the current version of this document is STD 2, RFC 1700, [INTRO:7]. This document is periodically re-issued. You should always consult an RFC repository and use the latest version of this document.

Host Requirements
  This pair of documents reviews the specifications that apply to hosts and supplies guidance and clarification for any ambiguities. Note that these requirements also apply to routers, except where otherwise specified in this memo. As of this writing, the current versions of these documents are RFC 1122 and RFC 1123 (STD 3), [INTRO:2] and [INTRO:3].

Router Requirements (formerly Gateway Requirements)
  This memo.

Note that these documents are revised and updated at different times; in case of differences between these documents, the most recent must prevail.
